Royalist Independents

The Royalist Independents are a conservative faction of Kuwaiti politics that was founded in 1963. The faction was founded by independent members of the National Assembly who supported the Kuwaiti monarchy, and the independents came to overwhelmingly dominate the National Assembly; in 2018, they held 64/65 National Assembly seats. The Royalist Independents supported social conservatism, as they sought to preserve the Islamic traditions of the party.
